Vancouver, BC – February 27, 2019 – Choom™ (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) (the “Company” or “Choom”) an emerging adult use cannabis company that has secured one of the largest national retail networks in Canada, is pleased to announce has entered a definitive agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Clarity Cannabis MD Holdings (“Clarity”) and its shareholders, to acquire 30 retail locations, three of which are licensed with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (“AGLC”). Clarity has successfully progressed through AGLC licensing and is operating the following three stores in the legal adult use cannabis market in Alberta and is awaiting licences for the following seven cannabis retail stores.

CANNABIS RETAIL STORES OPENED

Drumheller, AB – awaiting licensing

Medicine Hat, AB – awaiting licensing

Westlock, AB – awaiting licensing

Camrose, AB – awaiting licensing

In addition to the three licensed cannabis retail stores, the acquisition includes all 30 leases secured and applications submitted to the AGLC by Clarity. Clarity currently has 11 development permits awaiting construction, with 6 stores to commence construction, and 9 stores completed construction.

Choom expects the licenses for the remaining completed stores to be granted soon after the AGLC starts to grant additional retail licenses. Upon approval from the AGLC, all of the Clarity retail stores and retail opportunities will be re-branded under the “Choom Cannabis Co.” name. The completion of the acquisitions of the retail stores and retail opportunities will be dependent on the timing of the receipt of all necessary provincial and municipal approvals. The Purchase Agreement has been structured to permit Choom to acquire Clarity itself or all of the thirty retail stores and retail opportunities on a location-by-location basis, to provide flexibility to obtain timely receipt of necessary provincial and municipal approvals on a location-by-location basis or through the acquisition of Clarity itself.

“We are thrilled to welcome Clarity into the Choom brands portfolio through this acquisition,” states Chris Bogart, President & CEO of Choom. “Clarity has been successfully operating in Alberta since December and has submitted applications across the province. This transaction gives us a strong foothold in the Alberta retail landscape. Moving forward we will be working diligently to maximize our retail footprint Canada wide, and this transaction helps us to achieve that goal.”

Purchase Terms

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things, Choom will pay $2,000,000 to the principal shareholder of Clarity (the “Principal”) and issue 6,000,000 Choom Shares to all of the shareholders of Clarity, subject to escrow release over two years; pay $500,000 to the Principal and issue 2,500,000 Choom Shares to all of the shareholders of Clarity, subject to escrow release over two years, once Choom acquires Clarity or acquires one of the Clarity retail stores; and issue 2,500,000 Choom Shares to all of the shareholders of Clarity, subject to escrow release over two years, once the AGLC approves Choom to either acquire one of the Clarity retail stores or to operate any cannabis retail store in Alberta.

Choom will issue 8,867,000 Choom Shares and pay $2.5 million to the Principal in connection with the acquisition. As the Principal is also a director of Choom, the acquisition constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”), however, the transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the consideration and the transaction will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. A material change report in relation to this transaction will be filed less than 21 days before the issue of the majority of the Choom Shares and cash consideration in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement but at least 21 days prior to closing.

Vancouver, BC – November 20, 2018 – Choom™ (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOF) (the “Company” or “Choom”) an emerging adult use cannabis company that has secured one of the largest national retail networks in Canada, is pleased to announce it has acquired Clarity Cannabis Medical Centre Inc. and affiliates doing business as Clarity Medical Centres.

Chris Bogart, President & CEO states, “Our goal is to build a dominant national cannabis retail brand. The acquisition of Clarity Medical Centres allows Choom to service the entire Canadian cannabis market, beyond just the adult use channel. As cannabis becomes more widely accepted as an alternative to pharmaceuticals, increasingly, patients with medical conditions will require professional medical advice on the benefits and best use of cannabis as a treatment.”

The acquisition includes five new medical centres along with a proprietary telemedicine platform that provides important education, access and expertise for referring patients in the use of cannabis for medical purposes. The Clarity Medical Centres approach makes it simple for new patients to access legal medical cannabis products in Canada and streamlines the process of registering with a licensed producer.

There are medical conditions that may benefit from cannabis when it comes to treating several health issues including chronic pain, PTSD, seizures, tremors, and general anxiety. Clarity’s team of cannabis trained general and specialist physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and coaches all work together to ensure patients get optimal medical care. The clinics will provide education to patients on the best use of medical cannabis products as an alternative to pharmaceuticals.

Under the leadership of Dr. Jean Paul Lim, an internal medicine and complex care specialist, Clarity Medical Centres intend to study and monitor the effects of medicinal cannabis use. Clarity Medical Centres will use a patient-focused, research-based, multidisciplinary approach, from which Dr. Lim hopes to shatter cannabis misconceptions and build scientific evidence through the collection of patient data points around cannabis as an effective treatment.

As part of the transaction, Choom can access medical expertise from the clinics and leverage key learnings from the medical side to provide customer insights for our adult use channel. The Clarity medical clinic model is easily scalable and transferable across the rapidly growing medical cannabis space, both domestically and internationally adding an important retail revenue stream to Choom’s adult use strategy.

About Choom™

Choom™ is inspired by Hawaii’s famous “Choom Gang”- a group of buddies in Honolulu during the 1970’s who loved to smoke weed— or as they called it, choom. Now, that same sweet, sticky sinsemilla that brought the Choom Gang together for good times is inspiring the next generation of the choom gang- right here in Canada.

Choom is all about cultivating good times with good friends. At every Choom retail location, you’ll be sure to find top shelf pakalolo, sourced from Health Canada approved Licensed Producers, curated to cater to a wide range of users- from the cannabis curious to the seasoned consumer.

In 2008, Barack Obama inspired millions when he was elected President of the United States. Obama was iconic on the world stage, and was the first President to go on record and speak unapologetically about using marijuana. Unlike his predecessors, Obama admitted to having inhaled- frequently.

It was a biography published in 2012 by David Maraniss that really documented the extent of Obama’s fondness for the herb- and this is where the Choom story begins. Specifically, Honolulu in 1979. The ‘Choom Gang’ was a group of buddies who loved to ‘choom the pakalolo’ (i.e. smoke weed). Not only was Obama a member of the Choom Gang, he was the group’s trendsetter—coining a number of their toking terms and protocols, including “roof hits” (the practice of sucking every last whiff of smoke lingering by the roof after hot-boxing a car), “total absorption” (holding in one’s hit for as long as possible, or suffering a one-toke penalty for premature exhalation), and the infamous “interception,” where he’d break rotation to steal an extra hit. In fact, Obama even thanked The Choom Gang “for all the good times” in his high school yearbook!

At Choom™, we’re inspired by the Choom Gang and we’re all about cultivating good times. Yes, that same sweet, sticky sensimilla that led Obama from Waikiki to the White House will be coming to a Choom™ store near you. Choom™ is the place to find top shelf pakalolo from a wide range of Health Canada approved Licensed Producers. Say hello to Choom™.
